Overview
A 2-in-1 phone and camera tripod that extends from 13 inches to nearly 59 inches, combining a spring-loaded phone clip with a standard 1/4-inch screw thread for cameras and vlogging gear.
The listing is explicit that the remote control shown is not included, so buyers relying on remote-triggered shots will need their own. The clip expands to 60-80mm to hold most phones, and switching to camera use just means removing the clip and screwing a camera or accessory directly onto the 1/4-inch thread. A cold shoe mount on the clip adds a slot for a small microphone or light without needing a separate rig.
- 13 to 59-inch telescoping range
- Universal 60-80mm phone clip
- Cold shoe plus 1/4-inch screw thread
- 360-degree locking ball head
Who it's for
For vloggers and content creators who switch between a phone and a small camera or Osmo-style device and want one tripod that adapts to both, plus room for a light or mic via the cold shoe. Not for anyone expecting a remote control to be included in the box.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Extends to nearly 59 inches, more than most compact travel tripods
- Works with phones via clip and cameras via 1/4-inch thread
- Cold shoe mount adds a mic or light without an extra rig
- 360-degree ball head locks at any angle
- Remote control is not included despite being pictured
- 7-section telescoping legs add more joints that can loosen over time
- No reviews yet to confirm build quality long-term
Performance notes
The 7-section ABS legs extend from 13 inches to a maximum of 57.8 inches, reaching close to 59 inches once a phone holder is attached, and a lock knob at each section controls the telescoping. The 360-degree ball head with a tightening knob lets the camera or phone lock at an angle rather than just straight up, and the 1/4-inch screw thread underneath the phone clip means removing the clip exposes a standard camera mount.
